I only skimmed some articles briefly, but his firearms were taken away due to mental health concerns to begin with, were they not?

He jumped a fence at the White House and prior to that had tried to kill himself in a CVS parking lot out of the belief Taylor Swift stalked him and hacked his Netflix account.

Quote from: Washington Post
White was met with a blizzard of criticism
Hurr hurr.

And that's pretty good, I wasn't aware that the Jews controlled the weather... But, I mean, it makes sense. Just look at all the weird stuff that Moses came out with; that must have been from a prototype weather machine!

But the question is... Can they tip over Guam?

...it's sad we have these references to draw upon. Vermin Supreme is looking more and more like a reasonable candidate, by comparison. And that's including his second-hand approval of Trump.

There is also a report of him jumping into a pool wearing nothing but a ladies' coat and trying to start a fight. While any individual incident (prior, of course, to this one) isn't too crazy, the aggregate suggests serious issues.

I mean, that or a drug habit.

He apparently was mentally competent enough that he stole a car a couple days ago, the cops picked up the car since it had GPS but found the stolen keyfob for the car in his APT. Also he asked for a lawyer upon arrest.

I'd probably be prone to arguing that causing a ruckus because Taylor Swift was stalking you and hacking your (Netflix account? I read it was his cellphone in a different article) thingy as being somewhat indicative of the guy maybe not playing with a full deck.

Then again, he was fairly civil about the whole thing. Said he didn't want anyone to get hurt, and he'd be happy just as soon as the harassment was stopped.

Toronto incident claimed 9 lives, and 16 people were injured. The identity of the arrested driver is still unknown.

I've found articles saying it was both, along with a separate incident in which he claimed people were hacking his computer because he could hear his voice in online chat rooms, as well as the pool thing, and claiming sovereign citizen status and a right to inspect the White House grounds.

Accounts of what precisely he believed vary, as one might expect.

Hopefully we'll know more soon. Has there been any official indication as to whether or not it was deliberate yet?

Driver got out of the van saying he had a gun and was telling police to shoot him. Video of him waving something gun shaped at police as they approached him.

10 / 15 last I heard.

Background checks for van rentals? Oh no wait, that's a stupid way to punish the millions for the misdeeds of individuals. Nevermind.

Yeah, what we really need to do is to strap guns to all of them so that the good guys can stop the bad guys.

EDIT: On a less sarcastic note, I'm far tired of this entrenched No True Scotsman argument that gun owners are all more responsible and nobler and generally better than the unarmed sheeple except for the ones that do something wrong, who obviously weren't responsible gun owners and should never have got guns, etc. If we cannot tell them apart before the killing starts -- and opposition to background checks makes it harder to do exactly that -- it's a pointless argument to make anyway.

If everyone had a van full of guns, then we could finally be safe. We'll pressure congress to pass a bill to make the taxpayers pay for it by threatening to take away unrelated things they need, then justify using the military to distribute the vans by declaring war on immigrants first. What could possibly go wrong?

Hijacked gun vans (gans? Gans.). Hijacked gans from horizon to horizon. Hijacked gans as far as the eye can see. Wherever the hijacked gans touch is your kingdom.
